Geneva is an excellent location for EBACE for some reasons and awful for others.
Principally the expo halls and airport are very well co-located with sufficient parking and easy access to all areas.
There are a lot of connections by air and rail travel and it is pretty much central in Europe.
Almost everybody and everything you might need is there, if you plan well in advance and organise......
There are a range of lessor cost hotel and accommodation options but that means either a little more travel 30-60 minutes, an ability to accept less than a full 5* Palace accommodation for the 4 hours sleep one is lucky to get, before the next day begins.
The cost of attending is excessive.............NBAA/EBACE massively overcharge and that keeps many away which is gradually diminishing the worth of the event. The whole reason to go is that everybody else is there and you can just about guarantee to see all the people and companies and aircraft and things you would like for the year..as parties don't go, that diminishes the value and then less and less will go. It collapse very fast.......if things don't improve this year...and there are no signs they will then 2021 will be half the size and 2022 the last one....unless the dozen or so diehards that turn up for 2023 can keep the spark alive.
EBACE doesn't work if only the wealthiest companies and only the very senior persons turn up for 2 days. It needs to be reasonably priced so many of the middle managers, workers and crew can take a day and visit. That is quickly not becoming the case.
